Monte Schulz Snoops Around The Other Side Of Metropolis In His Book, Undercity
<p>Monte Schulz<strong> </strong>received his M.A. in American Studies from University of California, Santa Barbara. He published his first novel,<strong> </strong>Down by the River, in 1990, and spent the next twelve years writing a novel about the Jazz Age. His most recent novel, award winning<strong> </strong>Metropolis, was published in 2022. His father is the late cartoonist Charles M. Schulz. </p><br><p>Building on the world Schulz created in his highly successful book Metropolis, Undercity<strong> </strong>collects the voices of brave survivors, of those who’ve refused to submit to the indignities of eugenical persecution, the horror of gas chambers, and relentless warfare in rural provinces. Some of these stories demonstrate the moral disaster of eugenics, while others tell of courage and love and that indomitable magic of the human spirit that refuses to be silenced in the face of unspeakable crimes. This sweeping tale is a warning to us, as well, that what we might think is unimaginable needs only apathy and inattention to arise. </p><br><p>We discussed writing, music and so much more. Don't be a blockhead! Listen to this!</p><p>This episode, like all episodes of If This Is True, brings forth what drives creatives to do what they do.
